Terms and Conditions

I understand that performing the COVID-19 PCR Swab Test is not a 100% guarantee that my group does not have COVID-19. A negative test just means that COVID was not detected by the lab when the sample that was taken.

I understand that my results will be returned 36-60 hours after my COVID swab is taken with the PRAXES health professional. I also understand that this timeline cannot be fast-tracked, and is variable depending on the Provincial Health lab volumes at the time.
